My eldest graduated from high school this month
click to embiggen and see my dear, sweet boy.
With this joyous occasion came the need for thank you cards.
I wanted to make something personal, simple, good for either gender and most of all, mailable.
Mailability in a card is very important as I hate getting them returned for extra postage when I've thoughtlessly added a button or other equally dimensional embellishment.
This one is the lumpiest as I made a glitzy one for the relatives that will expect a little pizazz. A little bit of Gelli print does so much heavy lifting on a design like this.
Simple. Classic.
This one I thought was clean, crisp and would be great for male recipients.
Er... this one I got a big thumb smudge of ink on so... GLITZY!
I tell you, more design choices are made to camouflage my clumsiness than you'd ever believe.
Clean and Simple.
As you've read here before. Even when making a whole bunch of the same card (say for Christmas) I can never make them exactly the same. Mixing it up keeps it fun.
Gosh, this bird stamp is getting a work out. You can see more here
